Interconnect - it's dripping with cringe.
I don't know. There seems to be a consensus on the meaning of that term. Cable connecting components other than speakers. What do you call them?

Audio leads.
Maybe "audio leads" is a UK thing or a general audio thing rather than "hi fi" terminology, because it's what I've heard used far more often than "interconnects", which I've only heard in audiophile circles.Nah. Nobody uses that term to describe cables terminated with RCA connectors that are used
to connect components other than speakers. Do a search here for "audio leads."
"Patch cords" and "cables" are way too vague, and describe almost anything.

Interconnects is the universally used term with a commonly accepted meaning. Shouldn't make anybody cringe.

"Patch cords" USED TO BE the universally used term with a commonly accepted meaning. But it was too difficult to sell patch cords at $1000 a pair. So when I see "interconnects" at those kind of prices, I don't cringe. I snort, and spit, and call them "patch cords".
Makes perfect sense to me If the item came with a remote. What seems to be your issue with it?Remote not included....
A patch cord is a balanced, mono cable with phone connectors for making connections in a patch bay.Patch cords.
Audio cables.
But it's redundant. Inter means between two items. Obviously an audio connection will be between two components, so if you're generically referring to something just use connection.Nah. Nobody uses that term to describe cables terminated with RCA connectors that are used
to connect components other than speakers. Do a search here for "audio leads."

Have to agree with Giant Killer- usually when referring to some cheap plastic fronted amplifier from the 1980s (NAD 3020 I'm talking to you)
PRAT (pace rhythm and timing) thanks to NAIM for that piece of BS that endures due to the UK HiFi press.
